We will only use your personal data as the law allows us to. Most commonly we will use your personal data in the following circumstances.
Where we need to collect personal data by law, or under the terms of a contract we have with you and you fail to provide that data when requested, we may not be able to perform the contract we have or are trying to enter into with you (for example to provide you with goods). In this case, we may be unable to process an order for a product and fulfil our contract with you. We will notify you at the time if this is the case.
We may have to share your personal data for the purpose of fulfilling our contract with you. These may include
The security of your data is very important to us and we are committed to protect the personal information we collect about you. We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way. In addition we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. Your personal data is processed only on our instructions and are subject to a duty of confidentiality. We have procedures in place to deal with a suspected date breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.
We will only retain your data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. To determine the length of retention we will consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the possible risk from unauthorised use or disclosure, the purpose for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means and the applicable legal requirements.
If you advise us that the data we hold about you is incorrect or incomplete we will correct and complete the information as soon as possible.
You have the right to request that your personal data be deleted, we will delete your data immediately unless continued retention is necessary and permitted by law.
You have the right to object to use processing your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.
You have the right to request that we suspend processing your personal data, but hold it for you, in the event the data we hold is inaccurate, the processing is unlawful or we no longer need the personal data. Once restricted, we will only continue to process your personal data if you consent or we have legal basis for doing so.
You have the right to access information held about you and any access request will usually be free of charge.
You have the right to receive a copy of your personal data that you gave to us
You may withdraw your consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent.
We may need to request specific information from you to confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data.
We will try to respond to legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer if your request is complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will keep you updated.
We do not store credit card details nor do we share financial details with any 3rd parties.
